Condolences & Memories (15 entries)

• Dear DC, Mary, Donnie, Margie, Sandy and Christine and family. It was with great sadness I learned of the passing of your dear Julia. She was such a wonderful person and friend to so many, larger than life. I will never forget her jolly laugh interspersed with such wisdom and kindness. She taught me about humility and honestly and downright fun in those formative years of my life spent out at the lake. So much joy and joie de vive in one person is a rare thing indeed. I consider myself truly blessed to have known her. I wish you all the best in this difficult time. With all my love and best wishes, Simon - Posted by: Simon Gough (Friend) on: Sep 02, 2016

• A wonderfully welcoming person - always a big welcome in Winnipeg and Lake of the Woods. My thoughts are with the whole family. John Parkinson - Posted by: John Parkinson () on: Aug 31, 2016

• It is with a heavy heart we bid farewell to a dear friend of many years. There are so many fond memories of Christmas Eves, visits to Lake of the Woods in summer and wonderful get togethers before we moved to B.C. Poor health has prevented our return latterly and the last good visit with Don and Julie was at Lisa's wedding in the late 90's in Victoria. Don and Julie were always good friends, particularly in the years Donnie and our daughter Lisa were close chums. Julie has always held a special place in our hearts. To Don, Donnie and ALL the girls we send our heartfelt love together with sadness at being unable to be able to attend today. Love, Gus and Shirley. - Posted by: Shirley and Gus de Jardin (Friends) on: Aug 31, 2016

• We remember with deep affection Julie’s welcoming and warm hospitality, her cheerful and raucous laugh, her optimism and her love of family. Gatherings at home and at their camp with her and Don and their girls were always most memorable. Don, you and Julie were a great example of a loving and devoted couple, great parents and a lot of fun. - Posted by: Ian and Rae Jessiman (Friends) on: Aug 31, 2016

• I was so sorry to hear of your mom's passing. I have so very memories of sleepovers on Wellington Crescent, Christmas parties, Lake of the Woods. Your mom was the glue and heart in your family and the "people magnet" for all. Your mom very special and each of you has a piece of who she was inside. Take care of each other and I hope all of your many, many memories will sustain you through this tough time. Lisa - Posted by: Lisa de Jardin (Friend) on: Aug 31, 2016

• Our condolences Don to you and your family. As fellow lake people we understand what it meant to Julie. We know going forward will be very difficult but be assured you have many friends who will be there to support you. While we were infrequent in our paths crossing rest assured we remember Julie every time we serve water at every gathering in our home. We have the large glass water jug we got from you prior to your move from 603 Wellington Crescent many years ago and we tell our friends the little story of connected lives. - Posted by: Rob and Barb Tisdale (Friend) on: Aug 31, 2016

• I will always remember her laugh. To me it was a full laughter that was very infectious. - Posted by: Jerry Pugh (Family friend) on: Aug 31, 2016

• I'm so sad to think of saying good bye your Mom. She was a such a strong center of gravity for your family, and for those of us she welcomed with open arms into your lives. I remember her shaking her head, saying "oh Jenny...." for all the times I sought teenage refuge at your house, or at your cottage. And then, of course, she'd laugh and make all my dumb mistakes seem less important. My kids believe that people become stars in the sky when they pass away. We've lit a candle in the window each night since Sunday to help Julie find her star. - Posted by: Jenn Buechel (Friend ) on: Aug 30, 2016

• Auntie Julie was my Mom's best friend, she was a huge part of our life growing up. I will always remember her infectious laugh, her beloved newfs and of course the girls. May you rest in peace Auntie Julie, I know you and Mom are reading Winnie the Pooh up there and giggling just like you always did! I will miss you. - Posted by: Tara MacFarlane () on: Aug 30, 2016

• Julie was a friend to everyone. When we moved to Winnipeg and bought their home we were welcomed into their family and community of friends. Our daughters became her daughter's friends and Lil the family dog at the time kept wondering why our home was no longer her home! Many a New Years Day was spent at our home and the good times flowed. Lots of Grey Cup and Christmas parties were spent at theirs .Loving, compassionate , giving were her character traits. While we have drifted apart caused by physical separation she remained a part of my heart. Sharon Carstairs - Posted by: Sharon Carstairs (Friend) on: Aug 30, 2016
